Hey guys and gals

i brought this hicas controller for the track, as i dont want to run a lock bar, and i like my hicas.

so i chased down one of these Grid Hicas controller thingo's so i can just turn it off as i roll through the gates at the track, and back on when i want. The kit comes with everything including the instructions...

Now the instructions seam to be translated by someone with not very good english skills and its kinda confusing. so ive taken a pic of the instructions and the rest of the kit, and i gunna ask you guys what you make of it. i have a rough idea in my head of what to do. so all i need is someone to say back the same thing and ill be ready to cut the wires...... :P

but without being 110% sure if im right im not goin down to the garage to start hacking my hicas wires up... haha if you no what i mean.

anyway thanks heaps all

also if anyone has installed one of these plz let me no how it went and how u stalled it.

cheers :ermm:

to me, that says cut the wire going to pin 18 and connect the yellow wire of your kit to the connector block side and the purple wire to the loom (the loose wire end in the bundle).

Also, make sure you certainly fix the silver main part to a frame with a nut :ermm:

interesting idea though - i'd be keen to know how it fares on the track and what it costs :P

i dont mind it aye, but in saying that ive never tryed it without it, hense the reason i brought this kit, so i can just switch between what i like and what i dont.... its just abit of a mess to wire up casue theres not alot of info on it. i cant seem to work out what Pin 18 is....

i had a looks at my hicas unit sarvo, dosent seam like its goin to be easy to work out which pin is 18... anyone shed some light?

Um, it shouldn't be hard at all. Find the HICAS units under the parcel shelf. Grab the plug & match up pin 18.

thanks mate,

all installed now, took it for a short drive today between showers, seamed to be alot more direct in the steering. Ill be able to see how much better it is once the roads are dry. Deff awsome just being able to switch it on and off!

Doesn't it adjust your line mid courner? I take a fast courner, pick my line.. then the HICAS adjust's my rear wheels and effectivly oversteers me into the curb.. SCARY STUFF!

Can't say I've noticed this in mine at all.

Deano, keen for more results once you get some dry roads :)

hi Deano, my controller has been wired up to take the same sort of switch you have. Can you give me the details please. Thanks,Paul

    • Gday, Due to not finding much up to date info on this topic I thought I'd make a thread to get peoples latest opinions/recommendations. Background info -  I've got a S1.5 R33 GTST as a fun project car, mainly for street use and occasional drag strip, apart from all the cosmetic things I'll be doing a full rebuild of the engine with forged internals. Since it'll be getting new cams (kelford) and springs to match I thought I might as well get new lifters and valves while I'm at it, the dash says 160k KMs but the engine seems pretty tired, compression measures about 130psi across all cylinders so I'd like to freshen everything up. This is where I'm tempted to just fork out the extra and go solid lifters while it's all apart, aiming for 400-450kw atw with a flex tune. Assuming all supporting mods (oiling, fuel and all bolt ons) with a lightly ported head and turbo to match (yet to make a decision possibly gtx3582r or similar from Hypergear) I've seen the Tomei kits with just the buckets getting around, Supertech sells most things - Supertech High Performance Cam Followers | Trusted Racing Cam Followers Questions -  Has anyone found the Hydraulic lifters to limit them at this power level? Is it usually found that you can just clean the stock lifters and find they work fine?  Does going solid lifters save any headaches/issues with hydraulic lifters in the future? Any recommendations on other things that will need to be replaced, I know I'll need to get the solid profile cams but can you use the same type of valves and springs/retainers and is it recommended to change the guides and stem seals?    Summary -  Basically looking for pros/cons and wanna know if I'll actually need the extra RPMs from solid lifters or it'll just be bragging rights to say it ReVs OvEr 8000 Cheers
    • Ha ha ha, this stuff they had was installing Toshiba PLCs that were made some time in the 1990s, and they were replacing GEM80 PLCs. To let those two talk (staged upgrade along a ~1.2km long building that was split into 4 sections), was a bunch of WinXP machines running Java gateways... There was no way to put something like ProfiSafe in... Most of the HMI machines were WinXP, with Java program, with a custom button board emulating a keyboard... About the only buttons in the operator stations that went direct to the PLCs was the eStop. There was some interesting design stuff in that place...
    • Stock bypass valves are good for plenty of boost.
    • Check for fuel flow out of the outlet end of the rail. Check for spark. Try to start with aerostart (or pressure can brake cleaner or similar solvent in a car) prayed in through TB. If you have fuel and you have spark and it will fire on substitute fuel, then seriously suspect that E85 sitting for ages in your fuel system has destroyed something and put it in your injectors.
